The Gift of Life

You have granted me life and favor,
and Your care has preserved my spirit.
Job 10:12

The first blog of my life needs to be on the day my third grandchild is born.
Silas Abram Cloer came here weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and is just as calm, happy and content as his dad, Aaron. Last week we were in Memphis when Gideon Isaiah Cloer was born. He came here at 9 lbs 1 oz and was so much like his dad, Jacob.
Yes, yes, they are both also like their moms, Erin and Melissa, but I was there when their dads were that same age and I see the resemblance.
What did these little boys do to earn the right to live? Nothing. Their life, likes ours, was a gift. It was granted to them by our God. In the providence of our God, He is the One who provides our life; He protects our life; and it is He who preserves our life.
Thank him for life; your life and the lives of those He has given you to love.
